What are the symptoms of trapped ear water?
We have all at one time or another experienced the unpleasant symptoms of trapped ear water:
Feeling of pressures in the ears.
Painful ear discomfort.
Temporary impairment of hearing.
What causes water to be trapped in the ear?
The external ear canal can be liked to a tube similar to a drinking straw with a closed end. Once water enters this
tube (which is unavoidable whenever one's head is under water), surface tension will cause this water to adhere firmly
to the walls of the canal, thereby blocking it.
Why is this water so difficult to remove?
This is due to surface-tension effect as well as the fact that it is extremely difficult to break the vacuum this is
created behind the trapped water in the ear canal.
How does it work?
It works due to its powerful surface tension releasing properties which quickly dislodge
the trapped water from the sides of the ear canal, allowing it to easily run out.
How quickly does it work?
Usually within a few seconds after usage.
When should it be used and what is the dosage?
It should be used immediately after leaving the water. Use 5 drops in each ear, alternately
tuning the head to the opposite side. Trapped ear water will rapidly run out or simply evaporate away.
When should the drops NOT be used?
Drops are safe for use by adults and children when used as
recommended. However, they should NOT be used if any ear infection
is present, if there is any ear discharge, or if you have a
perforated ear drum. Do not use on broken skin, or if pain is
experienced. Consult a doctor in all these cases. A mild warming or
tingling sensation may be experienced by some individuals when using
it and is quite normal. Read the box for further details.
Besides the discomfort, what happens if trapped ear-water is allowed to remain in the ear?
Today, even apparently clear pool or sea water contains pollutants and harmful bacteria. If allowed to remain in
contact with the ear, these could lead to painful and unpleasant ear infections which might need antibiotic treatment by a doctor and may lead to the ruining of a vacation.
